Hi
Thanks for the information. Can you please let me know whether I am using a
wrong way to generate PDFA/1b complaint files, or it is just the old jar file
which makes all these problems?
If the approach is wrong, that do you suggest me to?
If the jar makes all these problems, can you suggest me a place where I can
download lowagie /itextPDF iText file?
Thanks in advance.

complaince
Manulak,
The issue is your expectation that iText can create PDF/A compliant PDFs
from non-compliant ones. It merely can create (with support by the program
using it) them from scratch.
Regards, Michael
PS: The version of iText you are using is mighty old.

Subject: [iText-questions] PDF Validation error with PDF/A1b complaince
Hi All
I am creating a PDF which is supposed to be complaint with PDF/A1-b and when I
use online validators like PDF TOOLS Online
Validator<http://www.pdf-tools.com/pdf/validate-pdfa-online.aspx>, it gives the
following error saying that the PDF is not PDF/A complaint.
dc:description/*[0] :: Missing language qualifier.
dc:title/*[0] :: Missing language qualifier.
The property 'pdf:keywords' is not defined in schema 'Adobe PDF Schema'.
The XMP property 'dc:title' is not synchronized with the document information
entry 'Title'.
The XMP property 'dc:description' is not synchronized with the document
information entry 'Subject'.
The required XMP property 'pdf:Keywords' for the document information entry
'Keywords' is missing.
I am using FOP for rendering my PDF and using iText (iText 2.1.6 by 1T3XT) for
converting the PDF to be PDF/A complaint.
public void convertToPdfA(File file1, File file2)
{
PdfReader reader = null;
Document document = null;
PdfCopy copy;
InputStream PROFILE =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("com/ini/vldt/config/sRGB
Color Space Profile.icm");
There I first read the PDF file to a PdfReader object, then get a copy as
follows.
reader = new PdfReader(new RandomAccessFileOrArray(file1.getPath()),null);
//Creating a new document that has the existing page size
document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
//save the data in the 'document' to file2
copy = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream(file2));
Then I try adding the Title, Author, Keywords, Creator, Subject, Creation Date
and Producer as follows.
try{
document.addTitle(reader.getInfo().get("Title").toString());
}
catch(Exception e){
document.addTitle("TEST Title");
}
try{
document.addAuthor(reader.getInfo().get("Author").toString());
}
catch(Exception e){
document.addAuthor("TEST Author");
}
try{
document.addKeywords(reader.getInfo().get("Keywords").toString());
}
catch(Exception e){
document.addKeywords("TEST Keywords");
}
document.addCreator("TEST Creator");
document.addCreationDate();
document.addProducer();
try{
document.addSubject(reader.getInfo().get("Subject").toString());
}
catch(Exception e){
document.addSubject("TEST Subject");
}
Then I give the PDFA conformance values and then create the PDF as follows.
copy.setPDFXConformance(PdfCopy.PDFA1B);
copy.setPdfVersion(PdfCopy.VERSION_1_4);
document.open();
ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.getInstance(PROFILE);
copy.setOutputIntents("Custom", "", "http://www.color.org";, "sRGB
IEC61966-2.1", icc);
for(int i=1;i<=reader.getNumberOfPages();i++){
document.setPageSize(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(i));
copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, i));
}
copy.createXmpMetadata();
copy.close();
document.close();
reader.close();
I got another error report from
SolidFrameowrk<http://www.validatepdfa.com/online.htm> validations as follows.
- <metadata>
<problem severity="error" objectID="27" clause="6.7" standard="pdfa">Language

standard="pdfa">Missing or incorrect CIDSet for CIDFont subset</problem>
<problem severity="error" objectID="18" clause="6.3.5"
standard="pdfa">Missing or incorrect CIDSet for CIDFont subset</problem>
</fonts>
What can be the issue? Any reply is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
